The fire ban that had been in place in the city of North Battleford and the RM of North Battleford has been lifted.
The fire ban had been in place since May 1. But the onset of rainy weather this week has meant the end of the dry conditions that had posed a fire hazard.
The City reminded residents in a news release to ensure they burn responsibly, as even though the grass has greened and wet weather is here, it still does not take much for the ground to dry out and become a higher risk.
Those in the city of North Battleford who want to use a fire pit will need a permit. The fee is $20 payable at City Hall. Arrangements need to made with the fire department for an inspection. Review the rules and regulations by visiting the city’s website.
